Dividend policy
At the General Meeting held on April 20, 2006 the dividend policy was changed as follows. Following the outsourcing of the lease portfolio and the acquisition of Imagistics the dividend policy no longer needs to be focused on efforts to distribute one third of the annual income. Whilst maintaining consistency in the dividend distribution to shareholders, endeavors will be made to distribute to shareholders a stable, but preferably gradually increasing dividend in line with the development of income and subject to the conditions that there is sufficient latitude for making a payment from the income and/or the free cash flow and that healthy balance sheet ratios are maintained.
